My husband knows if I see a butterfly through the window, I am out the door after grabbing my camera...this week I had a few more visitors to share with you...

Keep rushing outdoors with your camera Sherry. Your photographs always cheer me up as I love seeing the visitors to your garden. The second shot of the tree frog looks as though it's about to pounce on the centre of the flower. :-D
Wow. Great pictures! I didn't know that tree frogs were so tiny! Cute. Big noise from a little critter!
I just took these half an hour ago... Eastern Tiger swallowtail ( photo / image / picture from Sherry8's Garden ) Eastern Tiger Swallowtail ( photo / image / picture from Sherry8's Garden )
Thank you everyone... Beeker...that is the tiniest one I have ever seen too. I am wondering if it is a baby one because the other ones I have had were so much larger than this one. I looked for him today and couldn't find him but with being that small he would be easy to miss in the garden...
Sherry great pic's. I too love those tree frogs. In the late afternoon they sit up in the trees by our house and make those noises that sound like raccoons. Drives the dog crazy. I will have to plant some Butterfly bushes. They really do attract a large varieties of critters.
I think it brings out more than butterflies. I have a lot of those orange butterflies. They seem to love all the zinnias and I didn't even plant them. I may collect seeds and plant some more next year though. Thanks for the pictures. dooley
dooley...are you talking orange sulphurs? I have yet to see a butterfly on my zinnias, any kind of butterfly. The bees love them ...maybe I have the container in the wrong area. They got so leggy this year that they don't want to stand up in the wind...
